Match Day Thread Manchester United vs Plucky Little Upstarts from the South Coast. Sat Feb 12, 12.30

They are going to put Frank’s first league win on motd before us aren’t they ?

 

Maguire is a thug and I agree not terribly good.

 

I was thinking Terry Hurlock, myself

 

BT's last two televised matches were supposed to be Spurs at home vs someone, and Man U at home vs someone. They weren't expecting the 'someone' to be rather good, actually.

 

Redcafe is an amusing read. They seem to think that *they* were the ones hard done by by refereeing decisions today

Apparently it’s unreasonable that they got more yellow cards as they made fewer fouls. The nature of the fouls are apparently irrelevant

Most thought we should have had a penalty. But difficult to know if that is partly because they hate Maguire and him giving away a penalty helps make that position easier to hold

Interestingly more than one person on their post match thread acknowledged how unlikeable their team is

 

Is that like saying the wine waiter's got a Semillon?

 

Yes, after these recent stirring performances one simply must saviour the delights of fat cat club's forums; preferably along with your choice tipple and requisite morsels.

This evening's behaviour on RedCafe brings to mind the exhilaration one would feel of observing an enthusiastic outbreak amongst the patients of a Victorian mental asylum.

 

How many wins from Europe?

 

Other than allowing play to continue, rather than giving us a FK in prime JWP territory (when you have a weapon like him, the advantage is the FK!), I thought the referee was excellent today. So that probably explains why the Utd fans didn't rate him, because he didn't fall for their antics or favour them at every opportunity.

 

Nice shout! I’d forgotten we drew against MU at home. Unbeaten against those 3x this season; not too shabby!

 

And unbeaten against West Ham

 

The list goes on …..

 

We're depending on you, Dave. Oh, and Ralph, JWP, the others. But mostly you. No pressure, then

 

That’s an achievement for us in itself. Especially this season.

 

While Broja may be hogging all the headlines, Che is going nicely under the radar;

(2021/22 Season)

Broja: 1 goal every 179 mins

Adams: 1 goal every 183 mins

Incredibly, neither come out on top overall. Elyounoussi has 1 goal every 178 mins. Though that obviously includes the Newport hat-trick. He also has more assists (3) than Broja (1) and Che (1).

 

3rd on match of the day.
Man City’s routine and expected win on first

 

He has done well but hasn't had much help from the VAR.

 

should we loan Adz Armstrong to Celtic for a season, see if the pattern continues?

 

pretty harsh assessment tbh. Fraser made at least 4 match saving stops for us today and was very good just as he has been for the last few. If we are holding past mistakes against players then there aren’t many starters from the last couple of games that are worthy.

 

Apparently XG had United at 2.73 today. You have to imagine that part of why that became just 1 goal was the saves ? Plus the goal line clearance too I guess
